EDITORS NOTE

This time of year is always emotional for me. As we move into the warmer months and the flowers bloom and the kids finish up another year of school, I’m reminded that the world keeps spinning, the days continue to move along. After losing my Father, my former spouse, and Mother in seven short months, I’ve come to realize that the days pass quickly where it is imperative to give ourselves the time for reflection, rejuvenation and joy.

This issue inspires our readers to embrace Summer colours and events, while incorporating joy and good health in their lives. Whether it’s recharging your batteries at a second retreat or reviving your home with new colours and decor, Summer is a pivotal season to restore your soul however you choose to do so.

This is my Summer of “care”free living (and I mean that in a very direct manner) where I am able to choose my weekend sojourns freely. We purchased

a tent trailer only to find out that most of our local campgrounds are already booked for the season. So we reach further to achieve our goals to embrace the beauty of life, nature, and this beautiful season in Ontario.

I hope that you take the time to enjoy HOMES+ Magazine or dive into a great Summer read. Whether it’s under an umbrella at home, an awning at a campground or on the sand at the beach, take some time to yourself this season. As Ferris Bueller once famously said, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

500 Welcome to

There are many amazing homes in Eastbridge, but not many bungalows. Of the precious few that happen to come available from time to time, not many offer the type of features or space found at this address.

For starters, the very roomy 3-car garage offers more than just parking. Additional room for storage and two easy access points, one to the main floor and another to the lower level which are convenient features for the homeowner and their guests. As you can see in the 3D Tour and Video online at RedCarpetOnFoxCove.com this home is ideal in many ways for a future in-law set-up or generational living.

Three bedrooms, all of which are quite spacious and adorned with spectacular windows, are found on the main floor. The primary bedroom offers a generous walk-in closet, a walk-out to the back deck and enough space for a sitting area.

The lower level is fully finished but is a blank slate in that, with the exception of the bathrooms and gym, the majority of the finished space is completely open, which means plenty of opportunity for the new owner to define the space as they see fit for their own wants and needs. Someone may wish to carve out additional bedrooms (there is room for 2 or 3!), or set up an amazing work-from-home space (the sky's the limit here with 20 direct line ethernet ports in place, all connected to a central server switch, and the natural gas generator ensures your work will never be affected by outages), or add a wet bar, which is already roughed in. Any of these modifications could be done without compromising the ample gathering space around the fireplace in the Family Room.

There are a total of five bathrooms, three up and two down. Who has two baths in the lower level? You could! This is a rare find, for sure. The star of all the baths, though, is the beautifully outfitted 5-piece ensuite off the primary bedroom on the main floor. It has a double vanity, huge walk-in shower and a freestanding soaker tub overlooking the private back yard.

The Living Room presents soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwoods, a gas fireplace with stone surround, loads of natural light pouring in from the windows across the back of the room and the skylights above.

The Chef's Kitchen boasts gorgeous Quartz countertops, Stainless Steel appliances, a large walk-in pantry, room for cozy dining around the bar or at the table with a view of the back yard, and, we can't forget the walk-out to the deck for easy BBQ meals and entertaining.

You will love the large private back yard with mature trees, deck with options for full sun or covered seating area, and two concrete pads which are fully wired for a hot tub and swim spa.

This nearly 3000sqft home at 500 Fox Cove Place truly has so much to offer. It's large enough for a growing family, but could also be a very appealing option for a couple working from home or someone who isn't ready to downsize but no longer wants the stairs. This one really could be the one.

Will you say yes to this address?

SECOND HOME

Exploring the Appeal of Summer Retreats

As the warm breeze carries the scent of blooming flowers and the sun casts its golden rays upon pristine beaches and lush mountains, the allure of a summer retreat becomes irresistible. For many individuals, owning a second home in a desirable holiday destination has become an appealing investment and an opportunity to create lasting memories. Let’s delve into the advantages of owning a holiday property and explore the potential for generating passive income through short-term rentals during the peak summer months.

THE APPEAL OF SECOND HOMES:

A second home offers a getaway from the routines and demands of everyday life. It provides a sanctuary where individuals can relax, recharge, and spend quality time with loved ones. Whether it's a cozy cottage nestled in the countryside or a luxurious

beachfront villa, owning a second home allows for a personalised and familiar space, creating a sense of belonging and comfort.

Beyond the emotional benefits, second homes also offer the advantage of location. Holiday properties are often

situated in picturesque surroundings, such as idyllic beach towns, serene lakeside retreats, or breathtaking mountain escapes. These destinations provide a respite from urban hustle and bustle, offering peace and tranquillity amidst nature's beauty.

GENERATING PASSIVE INCOME:

One of the key advantages of owning a second home is the potential to generate passive income through short-term rentals, particularly during the peak summer months. Many holiday destinations experience a surge in tourism during this time, presenting an opportunity for homeowners to capitalise on the demand for temporary accommodation.

Platforms like Airbnb and VRBO have made it easier than ever for property

owners to list their homes and connect with holidaymakers seeking unique and personalised experiences. By renting out their second homes during periods of high demand, owners can offset the costs of owning and maintaining the property while generating a steady stream of income.

Moreover, renting out a holiday property can provide flexibility in terms of personal usage. Owners can choose to occupy their second home during off-peak seasons or specific periods while renting it out during the most lucrative months. This arrangement allows homeowners to strike a balance between personal enjoyment and financial gain.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL RENTAL:

To ensure a successful and rewarding rental experience, there are several factors to consider. Location plays a crucial role, as properties in highly sought-after destinations with diverse attractions tend to attract more guests. It is essential to research the local market, understand the peak seasons, and align rental rates accordingly.

Investing in the right amenities and features can significantly enhance the appeal of a holiday property. Consider adding amenities such as a swimming pool, outdoor entertainment area, or proximity to popular attractions, ensuring that your home stands out among the competition.

Additionally, providing exceptional customer service and maintaining the property's cleanliness and functionality are vital for positive guest reviews and repeat bookings. Engaging with guests, addressing their needs promptly, and offering local insights can elevate the overall experience, leading to favourable ratings and increased demand.

Owning a second home in a holiday destination offers a myriad of advantages. From providing a personal escape to offering the potential for passive income through short-term rentals, the allure of a summer retreat is undeniable. By investing wisely, understanding market dynamics, and delivering exceptional guest experiences, individuals can unlock the full potential of their holiday property. So, whether it's basking in the sun, exploring new adventures, or simply finding solace in nature, a second home escape during the summer months is an investment worth considering.

Owning a second home in a desirable holiday destination has become an appealing investment and an opportunity to create lasting memories.

V I B E S EMBRACE THE VIBRANT

EXPLORING THE 2023 COLOURFUL KITCHEN TRENDS

In recent years, the kitchen has evolved from a mere functional space to the heart and soul of the home, a place where creativity and culinary delights come to life. As we step into 2023, a year of renewal and reimagining, a new wave of kitchen design has emerged, capturing the imagination with its vivacity and charm. Welcome to the era of colourful kitchens, where bold and vibrant hues take centre stage, transforming the traditional culinary sanctuary into a feast for the eyes and a reflection of personal style. Let us delve into the exciting world of the 2023 colourful kitchen trends and discover how they can invigorate our living spaces.

A BURST OF

Gone are the days of monotonous neutrals dominating kitchen aesthetics. 2023 brings forth a cornucopia of shades that breathe life into culinary spaces. From bold blues and passionate purples to energizing yellows and earthy greens, this year’s palette celebrates individuality and self-expression. Designers and homeowners are now embracing the opportunity to infuse their kitchens with personal style by incorporating vibrant hues that reflect their personalities and elevate the overall ambience.

ACCEN THAT WOW

One of the most captivating elements of the 2023 colourful kitchen trends is the rise of accent walls. Gone are the subtle hints of colour; instead, a single wall becomes a canvas for artistic expression. Adorned with geometric patterns, hand-painted murals, or colourful mosaic tiles, these accent walls create a stunning focal point, transforming the kitchen into a vibrant and energetic space. The infusion of colour adds depth and dimension, turning a functional area into an inspiring work of art.

CABINETRY COLOUR REVOLUTION

While white cabinets have long reigned supreme, 2023 marks a revolution in kitchen cabinetry. Colourful cabinets are taking the spotlight, infusing kitchens with personality and charm. Bold shades like cobalt blue, emerald green, and sunny yellow are being embraced, transforming ordinary cabinetry into vibrant design statements. The juxtaposition of colourful cabinets against neutral countertops and backsplashes creates a visually captivating contrast, breathing new life into kitchen aesthetics.

ARTISTIC BACKSPLASHES

In 2023, backsplashes are not just practical but also serve as an artistic outlet. Intricate mosaic designs, hand-painted tiles, and patterned wallpapers are becoming increasingly popular, adding colour and personality to kitchen walls. These vibrant backdrops create a sense of whimsy and playfulness, turning the kitchen into a creative haven. Whether it’s a floral motif, a bold geometric pattern, or an abstract masterpiece, the backsplash

APPLIANCES WITH A POP

Appliances are no longer limited to stainless steel or black finishes. 2023 sees a surge in colourful appliances that break the mould and inject personality into the kitchen. From vibrant red refrigerators to mint green stoves, these statement pieces infuse a dose of character and charm into the culinary space. Designers are embracing the opportunity to create harmonious colour schemes, where appliances seamlessly blend with the surrounding elements, tying the kitchen together in a vibrant symphony.

The 2023 colourful kitchen trends herald a new era of design, where kitchens no longer conform to muted palettes and monotonous hues. Instead, homeowners and designers are embracing the opportunity to create vibrant and energetic spaces that reflect individual styles and captivate the senses. From accent walls to colourful cabinetry, artistic backsplashes to pop-coloured appliances, every element comes together to create a harmonious and visually captivating environment. So, let us bid farewell to the ordinary and welcome the extraordinary as we embark on this colourful kitchen.

ASK THE EXPERT

REAL ESTATE

Does completely renovating a home always add value?

One would think that a fully updated home would make it worth significantly more than one that is in original condition, but that isn’t always the case. The question is, are all updates equal? I have seen many homes that were updated to the point that every bit of original character was completely stripped away, and in the process of the renovation, the home lost its soul. If the home is located in an older neighbourhood, the buyers looking in that particular area may be expecting a certain “look and feel” and if the renovation was too much of a departure from the expected, the seller may have shot himself or herself in the foot. On the contrary, I have seen many homes that were completely original at the time of the sale, and of course there are some buyers that wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole, while there are others who are incredibly excited to make it their own and they will pay top dollar for it (and if the home is impeccably maintained, it sometimes sells for not much less than what a fully updated home in the same area may go for). Keep in mind that some buyers would rather pay a premium to know what they are getting, thus an original home in good condition is very appealing to some buyers. The perception of a home that has been updated just prior to selling it wreaks of a “cheap flip” which often sells for less than the sellers anticipated. Another important thing to remember in real estate is that just because you wouldn’t pay more than a certain price for a property doesn’t mean that someone else won’t. Everyone has a different perspective, and most people, even Realtors, have a different opinion of the property’s true value. If a home has been recently updated, very good records regarding the updates will substantiate its value.

WINDOW TREATMENTS

Julie D. Martin The Red Carpet Crew

I just moved into a new home and need

window treatments

throughout the entire house. I’m intimidated, where do I begin?

Outfitting your home with all new window treatments can feel like a daunting task, but we are here to help! If you have not bought new blinds or shades in the last 10+ years you may be surprised at how many options are now available! I like to start by explaining there are really two different types of treatments. Horizontals, anything that the blind can be lowered, we can still see through it, we can close the vanes or louvers and have full privacy, or we can raise the blind completely. Think of products like banded shades, horizontal sheers, shutters or faux woods. Alternatively, we have products that are either up, or down with the options of being light filtering or room darkening. Think of roller shades, roman shades, woven woods and more! We suggest to start by visiting our showroom at 299 Manitou Drive to view all of the full size displays with the opportunity to try the different operating systems available. Bringing rough measurements (width x height) with you to the showroom allows us to start discussing pricing. We have a wide range of products and suppliers in different price points so we can outfit your home while sticking to your budget for your project. We also offer complimentary in home consultations with our very talented and experienced designer. We can help make selections, suggest colours to coordinate with your furnishings and can ensure we are sticking to your budget while still achieving the look you are after.

Visit our showroom to see the latest trends in blinds, shades, drapery, and shutters with full operable displays and the very best in customer service. Check out our Google Reviews!
